Raja tog en sabat for nogen tid siden, og sagde at han ville være tilbage i December. Men efter ca 40 dages betækningstid og overvejelser, så kommer Raja ikke tilbage. Lisa Su vil derfor overtage den formelle lederrolle for Radeon Technologies Group.
"TO MY AMD FAMILY,
FORTY IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER IN HISTORY. IT IS A NUMBER REPRESENTING TRANSITION, TESTING AND CHANGE. I HAVE JUST SPENT FORTY DAYS AWAY FROM THE OFFICE GOING THROUGH SUCH A TRANSITION. IT WAS AN IMPORTANT TIME WITH MY FAMILY, AND IT ALSO OFFERED ME A RARE SPACE FOR REFLECTION. DURING THIS TIME I HAVE COME TO THE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT CONCLUSION THAT IT IS TIME FOR ME TO LEAVE RTG AND AMD.
I HAVE NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT RTG, AND AMD, ARE MARCHING FIRMLY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING BECOMES EVER-MORE-IMPORTANT IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES. I BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH VEGA, NAVI AND BEYOND, AND I AM INCREDIBLY PROUD OF HOW FAR WE HAVE COME AND WHERE WE ARE GOING. THE WHOLE INDUSTRY HAS STOOD UP AND TAKEN NOTICE OF WHAT WE ARE DOING. AS I THINK ABOUT HOW COMPUTING WILL EVOLVE, I FEEL MORE AND MORE THAT I WANT TO PURSUE MY PASSION BEYOND HARDWARE AND EXPLORE DRIVING BROADER SOLUTIONS.
I WANT TO THANK LISA AND THE AET FOR ENABLING ME TO PURSUE MY PASSION DURING THE LAST FOUR YEARS AT AMD, AND ESPECIALLY THE LAST TWO YEARS WITH RTG. LISA HAS MY UTMOST RESPECT FOR EXHIBITING THE COURAGE TO ENABLE ME WITH RTG, FOR BELIEVING IN ME AND FOR GOING OUT OF HER WAY TO SUPPORT ME. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CALL OUT MARK PAPERMASTER WHO BROUGHT ME INTO AMD, FOR HIS HUGE PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY AND FOR HIS RELENTLESS SUPPORT THROUGH MANY DIFFICULT PHASES. AND OF COURSE, I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY DIRECT STAFF AND MY INDIRECT STAFF WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD WITH ME TO BUILD WHAT WE HAVE NOW GOT. I AM VERY PROUD OF THE STRONG LEADERS WE HAVE AND I'M FULLY CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN EXECUTE ON THE COMPELLING ROADMAP AHEAD.
I WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ARDENT FAN AND USER OF AMD TECHNOLOGIES FOR BOTH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL USE.
AS I MENTIONED, LEAVING AMD AND RTG HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT DECISION FOR ME. BUT I FELT IT IS THE RIGHT ONE FOR ME PERSONALLY AT THIS POINT. TIME WILL TELL. I WILL BE FOLLOWING WITH GREAT INTEREST THE PROGRESS YOU WILL MAKE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.
ON A FINAL NOTE, I HAVE ASKED A LOT OF YOU IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. YOU'VE ALWAYS DELIVERED. YOU'VE MADE ME SUCCESSFUL BOTH PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY, FOR WHICH I THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I HAVE THESE FINAL REQUESTS FROM YOU AS I LEAVE:
. STAY FOCUSED ON THE ROADMAP!
. DELIVER ON YOUR COMMITMENTS!
. CONTINUE THE CULTURE OF PASSION, PERSISTENCE AND PLAY!
. MAKE AMD PROUD!
. MAKE ME PROUD!
YOURS,
RAJA"

Random side note:
Udviklere som regel er underlagt konkurrenceklausuler, så de ikke skifter job til konkurrenten og tager viden og teknologi med sig.
Det samme gælder så åbenbart ikke direktører, der i modsætning frit kan skifte til konkurrenten og score en gigantisk signing-bonus eller fratrædelsesgodtgørelse - eller en kombination deraf, samt blive belønnet med ekstra høj løn fremover for at skifte.
Der ville blive en farlig ballade, hvis virksomheder begynder at rekruttere hinandens medarbejdere direkte ved at tilbyde dem tykke kuverter fulde af kontanter for at skifte direkte (og tage så meget viden/erfaring med sig som muligt).
Just a thought.

Det er ofte sådan at du faktisk godt kan skifte, men du må ikke dele ud af din viden fra tidligere arbejde.
Dog plejer der at være en "cooldown" på cirka 3 måneder.

#3 enig. Men som ingeniør kan man sagtens tie stille med hvad tidl. arbejdsgiver gjorde osv. Og man kan typisk ikke påvirke udviklingsprocessen ret meget, med mindre man plaprer løs.
Men som direktør kan man umuligt undgå at lade sin viden om tidl arbejdsplads influere på hvilke beslutninger man tager.
Jeg forstår ikke helt at det er muligt at skifte sådan på tværs.
Hans værdi som topleder er jo også delvist baseret på at han netop ved dit og dat om konkurrenten.
Omvendt så kan man jo stille spørgsmål ved hans motiver. Beslutter han ting i virksomhedens interesse eller undgår han at træffe beslutninger for ikke at blive beskyldt for at lække informationer.
Det imo en svær én 😉

Fandt han ud af var billigere købe tøj i Primark end h&m. Han kunne bo billigt i aisen.

Det giver go' mening, tror skiftet er sket med AMDs ok. Specielt med next gen Intel og AMD embedded GPUs samarbejde. Et kæmpe angreb på nvidia. I luv it

Det er lidt spas 😲 🤣

Gad vide hvor meget indvirkning det har haft på Vega. Sådan en beslutning er jo ikke noget der er truffet fra den ene dag til den anden, og det har været kendt i årevis at Intel har været ude efter ham.
Så hvis han har haft fokus på det og dialog med Intel det sidste halve år forklarer det jo fint hvorfor han har været helt anonym siden sidste vinter og hvorfor Vega blev så dårlig en lancering.
Håber bare der er andre der kan samle bolden op ved AMD. 🙂
